12. Once at least 24 hours has passed since the setup information was entered, you're ready to
perform the final step of the installation procedure. When the unit is powered up you'll
see a screen asking you to select the proper channel line-up. A channel line-up is the
numerical designations for each station your cable company caries. In most cases you'll
have at least two choices, though it's not uncommon for larger cities to offer several. It's
important to realize that only one will be correct. It's helpful at this point to have a
listing of the channels your cable company offers. You'll select the channel line-up by
verifying that a particular network is on the specified channel. Select the proper line-up,
press enter and begin to enjoy the TV Guide On Screen system!

Step 3: How The TV Guide On Screen System Operates
Once you've connected and configured the unit, the TV Guide On Screen system now needs to
capture the channel lineup and program data. This will only take place when the unit is placed
into the "STANDBY" mode. While the unit is ON, Press the "Power" button to place the unit in
"STANDBY" mode. The front panel display will briefly display "Bye" and the time will be
displayed. It's VERY important, especially during the first 7 days of use, that the unit is placed
into standby mode when you aren't using it. If the unit is left "ON" continuously, the Channel
Guide data cannot be captured.
•
Following the initial installation, it is strongly recommended that you wait at
least 24 hours before using the unit. No damage will occur if the unit is used
sooner, but the channel and program information may be incomplete.
•
In order for the TV Guide On Screen system to capture channel and program data
your DVD Recorder must be connected to either cable TV or a rooftop antenna.
If a cable box is used, make sure the IR blaster is properly installed and the cable
box is turned on. Even when you aren't watching TV the cable box must be
turned on, otherwise program data will not be captured.
•
Some cable boxes may offer a switched AC plug so that your cable box remote
control can also turn your TV on and off. Utilizing this feature (turning the cable
box off) will prevent channel guide Data from being captured.
